Good news is that I found a guide on exactly what I'm after... Thanks for your help everyone. Link for future reference below: https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfsense-router-on-a-stick-with-brocade-7000-switch/

I believe the ICX only doing L2 seems to reflect my current setup.

I think we're getting close. Here's what I'm currently doing, which is what I'm trying to replicate... Once replicated I can improve routing, if the ICX can do it better. The pfSense has a default LAN (10) and two VLANS, 20 & 40. DHCP is served by each VLAN for it's subnet on IPs & gateways...

I meant the IP helper option… it only comes up for single ports and not for the lag. Having said that... I've been doing some experiments and it seems that VLAN 1 traffic works as expected but other VLANS don't. The way I've got things set up is that each VLAN has it's own subnet...

Best explanation I've had so far was... Imagine each port has a little bouncer at it's door. When a data packet arrives at the port door it's either tagged (has an access badge for a specific VLAN) or un-tagged (does not have any access badges). If it comes tagged, as long as that access badge...

Dual mode is no longer a thing. It seems they removed it since FastIron 80.0.80. I think the VLANs setup is correct and the problem lies more with DHCP somehow. I found something about IP helper but that only seems to be available for Ports, not LAGs.

Hi thanks. I was under the impression all ports were by default untagged vlan 1. This seems to be the case when I tried it including lg1. No luck unfortunately.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to replace my existing managed but dumb switch with an ICX to set up a LAG to extend the bandwidth of my firewall from 1GbE to 4GbE. However, when I connect the firewall LAN interface (or confirmed working LAG ports) on the switch, devices don't seem to be picking up IP...

If nothing works you might just need to connect via the console port, worst case scenario you need to buy a LONG Ethernet cable they come in handy though I have a bad habit of cutting out smaller ones when I’m need until they’re no longer long enough!

If you can ssh in, then follow the instructions here ICX6xxx Advanced - Fohdeesha Docs . Sounds like you need... aaa authentication web default local If you can't ssh in, then start with FCX / ICX6610 - Fohdeesha Docs ...

Just a sanity question as I'm getting to know my new router... All ports seem to work fine but the LED of port 1/1/11 was solid amber instead of solid green. I looked into it further and it seemed to sync as expected at 1Gbit and work fine however it showed 1 CRC error. After resetting /...

Fantastic! Great to hear. Certainly a new life skill acquired for both of us. Let's hope we don't need it again.

No problem. It really doesn't help that they are placed back to back so you have extremely limited space to work with. Open the latch and try pulling it out as you would normally do. It'll come up about 1mm which is just enough to see the little notch and put the blade in, lots of light helps...

UPDATE: I've finally managed to remove them so sharing my experience in case someone needs it in the future. I ended up using a retractable craft knife. Use the sharp end of the blade to get between the clip and the SFP module (as per the photo) and push the blade in, a little click and the SFP...

Have you managed to find a solution for this? I just bought a used 7150-C12P and I'm finding the exact same problem. There's two optical SFPs which are not budging to get out. Ideally I want to replace them with ethernet ones but really don't know how to remove them without damaging the port. Is...

Did you consider the option running Unleashed firmware to avoid the need to use a controller in the first place?

True… couldn’t see any other burn marks but you’re right. Will probably skip.

Yes, badly :rolleyes: $60 is to have it swapped a professional (including chip). Chip is only $15 but don't fancy trying it myself.

It's $60 to replace the chip and the Switch was free... Trying to assess probability of success as $60 vs $300 is not a bad shout. More about the challenge of it now tbh :)

So the million dollar question now is what does that chip actually hold? I can get the chip replaced but if the ROMmon is on that chip I would not be able to upload the firmware on it... anyone know?
